Sure, if I were installing Python from source, that's what I'd do.  But I 
was trying the MacPython installer that Jack had announced, and I don't 
think that includes a "configure" script.  That's why I responded to his 
"MacPython 2.3b2 installer" message.

Normally I would install from source, but the last couple of times I did 
that and tried to get Tkinter and PyObjC support working, I wasn't having 
as much success as others on this list have had.  So I decided to give the 
binary installer a shot.
